For general novices and players, unless you are an experienced player, you will lose nine out of ten bets. Even if you are an experienced player, no one will know whether the material is good or bad until you open it. The person who sells the material says that the material is good, and the value of Hetian jade is huge. The myth can easily fool you into buying it.
This kind of thing happens a lot, so naturally not many people are fooled.
Some ambitious people, such as Han Kongque, Wei Changqing, Hu family and his son, and Qian Mingyuan, could not control the existing jade resources, so they looked for other opportunities, so this treasure hunt was launched.
Nephrite jade such as Kunlun Jade and Hotan Jade has a long history and is a treasure of the Chinese people. Today, with the development of the economy, the economic value of Hotan Jade, which is sought after by people, is also rising due to lack of resources.
Many people have entered the ranks of looking for nephrite jade with the idea of getting rich overnight. This is like the 30-year gold rush in the United States. Many people went crazy because of jade.
After resting for a while, Han Kongque and the others paid attention to the giant rough stone weighing two to three tons.
Just now, because he was concentrating on controlling the water flow, Han Kongque hadn't had time to use his spiritual consciousness to see through it. Now that he had nothing to do, he started to feel itchy again.
"Brother Han, should we untie this big piece of material, or get it out directly?" Wei Changqing said.
Han Kongque said happily: "Such a rare Yushanzi will be discarded if it is not cut well, but it is not easy to get it out like this."
"It's not easy to cut such a large rough stone, let alone here." Wei Changqing frowned.
Han Kongque said with a smile: "Let's first see if there is any value in laboring and mobilizing people! If the value is enough, we can make it out of the mountain."
At this time, Huangshan asked in confusion: "Boss, this rough stone has been soaked in water for who knows how long. Is this also mountain material?"
As the saying goes, every row is like a mountain. Although they are all jade, in comparison, betting on nephrite is many times more difficult than betting on jade.
Han Kongque: "This rough stone was washed down from the mountain, so strictly speaking, it is really mountain material."
Qian Mingyuan's eyes dimmed a bit. It was rare to find mutton-fat jade in mountain materials. And even if it was available, it might not be as moist as gelatin like seed materials.
However, this piece certainly cannot be so easily classified as mountain material. The most accurate term should be regarded as mountain and flowing water.
Gu Tong is an old man, so he may not be accurate at judging others, but he is very good at judging people's psychological changes from their faces.
Seeing Qian Mingyuan's expression, Gu Tongdao said: "The quality of jade sometimes depends on the color of the skin. But no one is perfect, and gold is not pure. It will have some flaws, and it depends on whether people can turn the flaws into bright spots. Already."
Qian Mingyuan was startled, and couldn't help but smile: "Brother Gu is right, I am too concerned about gains and losses."
Gu Tong smiled and said: "There are many good jades in the world, such as the piece of jasper we talked about before, and the Yu Shanzi, a picture of Dayu's flood control in the Qing Dynasty collected by the Forbidden City. That piece of jade is made of Gobi material, so who dares to say Can’t this be the second water control map of Dayu?”
It is difficult for an immortal to judge jade. This is true at all. There is a saying about jade stone. And the raw stone trading of jadeite has always been mainly based on stone gambling; while soft jade is rare because in most cases it is "the same on the outside and the inside". , and the real thing to bet on is this misty landscape material.
For ordinary materials, even if there is a certain degree of gambling, the possibility of winning is not high, because everyone can see the good materials.
Although there is no shortage of jade on the market today, there is a lack of really good materials. In other words, the materials currently in circulation are very average, and even tend to be junk. Once the knife is used, the original shape is often exposed, and the possibility of losing the bet is quite high.
But this piece of material is different. There is no fake skin on this piece of material. If you really want to bet, it depends on your luck.
The skin color of nephrite can be divided into three categories: color skin, sugar skin, and stone skin based on its composition and appearance.
The so-called color skin is a layer of jade skin distributed on the surface of jade, which has various colors. The jade industry is named after various colors, such as black skin, deer skin, etc.
The quality of the jade can be seen from the skin color, such as black leather, deerskin, etc., which are mostly high-quality white jade. Ziyu of the same quality, such as autumn pear and other skin colors, are of high value.
The thickness of jade skin is very thin, generally less than 1 mm.
The skin has various shapes, some are cloud-like, some are vein-like, and some are scattered dots.
Experienced jade pickers will go downstream to look for jade with colored skin, while going upstream, the chance of finding jade with colored skin is very small.
In addition, skinned mountain materials can occasionally be found near the cracks of primary jade ore bodies, which are also formed due to secondary oxidation.
Sugar skin refers to a layer of yellow-brown and sauce-colored jade skin distributed on the surface of the mountain material. Because the color is like brown sugar, jade with sugar skin is called sugar jade.
The sugar skin of sugar jade is relatively thick, ranging from a few centimeters to tens of centimeters. It often surrounds white jade or sapphire, forming a transitional relationship. Sugar jade is produced near the fissures of the ore body.
Sugar jade is a product of the oxidative environment. After the jade is formed, the residual magma water penetrates along the cracks of the Hetian jade ore body, converting ferrous oxide into ferric oxide. The sugar skin is the result of iron oxide staining.
Qian Mingyuan took a photo of his piece of Gobi material, pointed to a place with a thick sugar-like color, and said with a smile: "This piece of rough stone has two places, and two characteristics appear respectively, which is the main reason why I am not sure.
"
Han Kongque frowned, glanced at Qian Mingyuan, and said, "Mr. Qian, didn't you hear that it's easy to cut suet jade out of sugar-coated materials?"
Qian Mingyuan nodded and said: "There is such a saying, but there is still a big problem with this piece of material!"
When looking for jade, first look at the skin color. If the skin color is good, then look at whether the skin color of the jade is bright. Autumn pear skin, jujube skin, deer skin, and gold-dusted skin are all valuable varieties.
But the most important thing is to see whether the quality of the jade is exquisite. If the proportion of water lines is only one or two, there is no problem. The proportion of jade flowers, whether there are many impurities, and whether there are cracks on the jade surface, is better.
Han Peacock squatted next to the giant piece of jade and began to ponder it.
After all, he was coming into contact with a jade species that he had never come into contact with before, so Han Kongque was not in a hurry to release his magical power to observe the situation inside the stone.
He wanted to wait until he had a thorough understanding of the external features of the rough stone before looking at the internal performance.
The risk of betting on nephrite is not small. Like skin-covered jade and jade-containing stone, it is difficult to tell the difference between gods and gods. Therefore, in this industry, the risks are high and there are many traps. If you are not careful, you will lose everything.
It turns out that when people talk about gambling on jade (or "gambling on stones"), they often refer to gambling on raw jadeite. This kind of thing is covered with a layer of solid stone skin on the outside, which can really stump the gods.
As for nephrite, it is rare to say that there is gambling on jade, because one of its "five virtues" is "the gills can be understood from the outside, and you can know the middle, which is the way of meaning", that is, "the appearance and the inside are the same", there seems to be no gambling
necessary.
However, just now they cut into a few pieces of rough stone with good appearance, and they completely proved that the statement that nephrite is "the same on the outside and the same on the inside" is wrong.
Just now, a piece of crow skin weighing about two kilograms, the exposed flesh was white and delicate, very tempting, so the excited Huangshan rushed to cut it open, but after cutting it several times, the inside was jaw-dropping...
Therefore, never bet on nephrite, whether it is Hotan jade or Kunlun jade, because there are many jade and jade-containing jade in Hotan seed material. The risk is high and there are many traps. If you are unlucky, you will lose everything.
Han Kongque was observing the situation inside the original stone, but Wei Changqing was not worried at all that Han Kongque would be unmoved.
As for the big problem that Qian Mingyuan mentioned, it is not a problem at all for Wei Changqing. No matter how poor the external performance of this stone is, it cannot stop the gorgeous internal performance.
Since ancient times, gold has given rise to Lishui and jade has emerged from Kungang. This is no joke.
For thousands of years, the high-quality jade materials of the Chinese jade culture have been produced in this mountain range, and the trade center of this high-quality jade materials is in Hotan.
Hotan is a place name in the southern Xinjiang region of the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, bordering the Kunlun Mountains to the south, which is approximately 2,500 kilometers long.
This kind of nephrite is abundant in the Kunlun Mountains south of Hotan and in the large and small rivers (mainly the Yulong Kashgar River and Karakash River) originating from the Kunlun Mountains and flowing to the Taklimakan Desert.
As a result, this kind of amphibole jade has been given a heart-stirring name by history - Hetian jade. In the minds of Chinese people, this name has become one of the important symbols of traditional culture.
Hotan jade primary minerals are mostly found in the rocks of the Kunlun Mountains in Xinjiang. Some of them are decomposed into fragments of varying sizes by external forces and collapse on the slopes. After being washed by rainwater, they flow into the rivers under the Kunlun Mountains.
Therefore, according to different output conditions, Hetian jade can be roughly divided into mountain material, mountain water and seed material:
Mountain material refers to the original jade mines produced in the Kunlun Mountains and Altun Mountains in Xinjiang. In ancient times, it was called "Baogai Jade".
It goes without saying that this kind of jade material is naturally sharp and angular, and the quality is uneven.
"Shanliushui" was named by local jade mining and carving artists. It refers to the jade that is transported a short distance to the middle and upper reaches of the river by floods after the original jade ore has experienced weathering and collapse during the geological process.
Although this piece of jade is Kunlun jade, it is no different from Hetian jade. The performance of this raw stone should obviously be included in the ranks of mountains and rivers.
The edges and corners of Shanliushui jade have been rounded, but the scratches and breaks have not been completely removed, and the surface sometimes forms fiber clusters.
Although this piece of jade belongs to mountains and rivers, the jade inside it is not much different from the material. The jade is made of mountain materials, which are formed by long-distance transportation, erosion and infiltration by rivers.
Since most of the imperfections and defects inside the jade have been ruthlessly dismembered by the river water during the action of the river, what remains of most of the seed materials is fine jade that is delicate, flawless, rich in essence, warm and lustrous. The material, texture and luster are beyond the reach of mountain materials and mountains and rivers.
So it’s not that mountains and rivers or mountain materials can’t produce good jade, but that sub-materials are more likely to produce good jade. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
